a big congrats, tough conditions AND ill- ouch. I can sympathize w/ the illness, I ran a 20 mile race w/ the remnants of a chest flu and was coughing and hacking crap up and I know people were thinking is this guy going to croak out here?

you should have suggested to the brat kid to try throwing a couple of rocks at the bison

I finally slept last night and feel quite a bit better. My sinuses are still clogged up and my chest is still rattling, but I'm on the mend for sure. The alarm went off at 3:30 for my morning run but I stayed in bed for more rest. Probably the wise choice.

Under the supervision of a more mature mentor, that kid would have a different opinion of me. Unfortunately, his Dad is probably an asshole, so the kid will be at a disadvantage until he comes to that realization on his own.

Thanks for reading!

I'm with you on the kid.

Just be careful with that chest rattling - don't want to bring up what happened to me after the Hyner, just sayin, 1 or 2 runs too soon ain't worth 10 weeks of recovery...

Run for fun.

Maybe you should have suggested that the kid (or his Dad) retrieve your headlamp.
